Have you realized that you have more space than you need on your iCloud? Maybe you subscribed for an iCloud storage plan and later discovered you weren’t filling it up as you thought you would. Well, the good news is you can decide to downgrade or cancel your iCloud storage plan whenever you like.
Downgrading or canceling a storage plan takes effect after your current subscription billing ends. Because iCloud has a free 5 GB storage plan, you can either downgrade to another paid plan or to the free plan (which would mean canceling the paid subscription).
You should know that when you downgrade and your iCloud storage exceeds your new storage plan capacity, the platform won’t sync or even update your information. It does this only after you’ve upgraded again to a new plan or delete information to free space for more.
In this post, we’ll show you how to downgrade or cancel your iCloud storage plan on either your iPhone or MacBook. It only takes a couple of steps. You should read through.
